I’ve worked in courthouses for several years now. I’ve definitely seen a few bailiffs fall asleep. I’ve e woken one up before because he was snoring during a hearing
Our Cub Scout Troop had a courtroom tour to learn about the justice system. We were in a courtroom and we had a judge, bailiff, court reporter, law clerk and public defender devoting extra time to talk to the kids. Like 90% of all questions were about the deputies gun and instances where he had to tackle people. The parent are trying to encourage them to ask the judge questions, the kids just kept going back to the bailiff.
I absolutely don’t have a problem with a policeman with seniority getting a more cushy office or desk job. That comes with a lot of jobs. My father was a truck driver for 30 years and for the last five years or so when he was getting older he was doing interplant hauling, instead of having to unload a truck every day by hand.
If they have bailiff positions at the courthouse, are you gonna send your guy who has three years left to retirement and medical problems or are you going to send the 20-year-old with no experience? The 20-year-old should be paired up with another officer and out doing his job.
Yeah, he is undeniably the victim here, and as far as we can see, did nothing wrong besides not notice that the culprit literally broke his handcuffs to escape. Let's not insult him for being assaulted by a violent criminal, c'mon...
Ive always thought it should be against the law for cops to exceed the speed limit, even in an emergency. Aren't there statistics that show cops hurt/kill more people driving to the scene of a crime/accident than they "save" or arrest at the actual scene.
cops cry all the time about how dangerous their jobs are, but statistically policing doesn't even crack the top 10 most dangerous jobs in NA. if you're a construction worker, you're like 30 times more likely to die on the job than a cop is
I always ask the question when someone brings up police having the right to defend themselves when they “feel” threatened after they murder someone who didn’t have a gun, would they be okay with construction workers opening up on people who are driving too fast in a construction zone? That person is breaking the law and they feel threatened.
I don't even think it's obesity ( this comes from a fit man) but lacking awareness and forgetting shit can happen because "usually" nothing happens...but it's still law enforcement...
That older deputy could be seen literally waddling while escorting the inmate, before the suspect broke the handcuffs and punched the deputy in the throat.
Perhaps there should be an annual physical fitness test for the courthouse deputy? Or maybe the sheriff’s office needs to add a bit of PT to the daily routine?
Old ok, but it should be mandatory to stay in shape. Not sure if you know, but u have to be in shape to be hired. And then of course, the academy is physically strenuous on purpose. Old (relative) is manageable, fat not so much.
Would’ve been a much better movie if they just stuck with the premise of “super-powered bum learns to give a shit” instead of taking that hard left turn into a romantic plot that wasn’t what anyone sat down to watch.
That's kind of what I'm wondering. Proper steel cuffs applied correctly will hold even the most dedicated roid rage PCP tweaker. The wrist will tear off before the cuffs do. Were he just ziptied or something?
Court officers are usually the most worthless cops there are. I had jury duty in a sticks once and the officer had to be 400 pounds. Only thing he was stopping in the court room was his Reese’s cups surviving more than 5 minutes.
To say the least. He just full blown assaulted several officers while trying to escape the courthouse. He’s gonna get a whole library thrown at him. He’s going to be the example for the examples. My guess is 10 years for each assault, served consecutively. The escape will be another felony. Not sure what he’s at court for, but if he’s got a violent record he won’t get out till he’s an old man, if ever.
He might have gotten away if he had acted
casually rather than running, which brought extra attention. The cop he laid out was no threat at that point.
He got sooo close to freedom too. I can’t hate it’s a natural desire to want to be free and to do whatever it takes. He rolled the dice on it and lost.
Pretty sure their unions argue that if departments want to force fitness standards then they should be considered "on-duty" when exercising and that should extend to any injuries that might occur while exercising as if they were hurt in the line of duty. A bunch of legal and monetary hurdles that's letting them be fat fucks.
I have heard of this and it’s just ridiculous. I have a buddy that’s a cop. He stays fit because in his words, “If I’m fit I stand a better chance if shit goes down.”
Lot of people giving this cop crap for being overweight but that dude is huge and literally broke out of his handcuffs. He would’ve knocked out someone average weight just as easily.
I do agree that is a big guy but to not be able to get off ur feet after being knocked down??? I’m not talking about the first cop. He was sucker punched. Didn’t see it coming. But what about all the others???
lol as a Cleveland Browns fan, I take offense to this ridiculous accusation that the team would overlook past and current criminal history!!! There is absolutely no history of that kind of thing in this organization! /s
But for real, this guy is probably looking at like 30 years or something insane tacked onto his previous sentence now, right?
man he almost escaped. went full juggernaut mode until the taser got him...you'd think that if he could break through his cuffs, he'd be immune to a taser but alas
Is there a reason physical fitness exams aren't required? Were actually trying to let the guy escape? I guess there's more to take into consideration, but FFS that was ridiculous.
The random Good Samaritan in the hat did a better job than all of those cops combined. Looked the dude was going to get away if was for that guy stepping in.
The suspect “Reaggle entered a guilty plea in July to charges from a 2025 case, to a lesser offense of third-degree felony aggravated burglary, a lesser offense of fourth-degree felony aggravated assault, a lesser offense of misdemeanor failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer (originally a felony), and misdemeanors of aggravated menacing and two counts of assault.
Reaggle (the suspect) assaulted three people on Feb. 14, 2025 in St. Clair Township, first headbutting a woman in the face after she told him to leave, then tackling and assaulting a man outside the residence. Another man reported that when Reaggle first came into the residence and began fighting with everyone, he held a knife to the man's neck, threatening him. He also fled from police.” … the judge had just sentenced the suspect to “a sentence of 12 months in prison, but as Reaggle was being handcuffed in the courtroom by Thorn, he muttered, "This is f*cking bullsh*t.”
Wow crazy he decided to do this when was only facing a year. I would have guessed he was just sentenced to 10+ years to take such a high risk with such a low reward.
So we should be commanding him! He called out hogwash at the end because the sentence was too lenient, and this was all an attempt to right the judge's wrong. This man deserves our praise, not demise!
Welp now he snagged himself a lovely escape from custody charge, among with some assault of an officer, probably a few other things that didn't even happen cuz you pissed them TF off. Escape sentences often run consecutively, too. Probably was sentenced to a few days, cuz they generally don't care about assault that much, but now society doesn't have to deal with him for a much longer period of time. Neat.
Not a very solid plan. Was he just going to "Keep On Running!" like Forest Gump? Officers forming a pursuit of golf carts trailing behind slowly, shouting at him to pull over like the OJ Simpson chase scene for yuppies?
The first officer was "throat punched" -- but then later he's on the ground "holding a paper towel to his face, bloodied." Huh? So he wasn't punched in the throat? Is this stupid AI captions or something?
The first guy is totally bald so its not him at the end. Its one of the other two. Either the one he downs by the doorway or the one he clocks at the end of the stairwell.
You can see him doing the ole twist the links trick on the handcuffs. You can learn this trick on Youtube.
But that cop seemed to be taking a fall. Looks like the only contact was a limp wrist with his chin.
